Excellent hosts

Hosts live on site and are friendly but not intrusive (Also have Charley the dog which is a bonus). Property is small but well equipped and furnished and is impeccably clean. Also you have a private garden area and access to rest of grounds to hide from sun. Location is quiet but beaches and towns easily driveable within 10 to 35 minutes so all options covered. Would certainly recommend.

An excellent stay with charming hosts!!

The cottage is perfectly equipped, functional and delightfully decorated. There is a small, peaceful garden and a picnic table under a large tree for hot days! A plus for the high quality mattress (for weak backs!) Irene and Norman are charming, discreet and gave us plenty of suggestions for outings and visits. A valuable address to keep!

Our stay in Tortefontaine

This property is immaculate. It is extremely well supplied with everything you could need, clearly a lot of thought and effort has gone into ensuring this. The bed is very comfortable. Our hosts Norman and Irene were very friendly and helpful with good local knowledge. Ideally located for visiting the opal coast. We had a fabulous fortnight here. Andrew and Susan Leah.(July 24)

Very quiet and lovely

Lovely well presented Gite. We stayed for a week and Irene and Norman were very helpful and welcoming. They had a secure storage area for our tandem and all the facilities you need apart from a washing machine but there is a launderette in Hesdin. The bed was lovely and comfortable and being able to watch the Tour de France highlights on ITV 4 was great. Thoroughly recommend this Gite.

We had a lovely time staying at this wonderful place. After our original plans got turned upside down Irene and Norman made us feel at home in a second. We booked on really short notice, not even a day, but it worked out perfectly fine. The house was well equipped and we found everything we needed. There were even two little outside seating areas we could use during the whole stay. Our dog Cooper was also very welcomed. Just outside the gate we could step into the fields for our lovely morning walks. Nothing is really far away from this place and both of the landlords had plenty of suggestions for our trips! We can highly recommend to ask them!

Amazing quiet cozy cottage

My girlfriend and I spend an amazing time in this little little cozy cottage. It is equipped with everything you might need. The garden is filled with flowers and shaded by old trees - listening to birds early in the morning with a cup of coffee was incredibly relaxing. We also made use of the great gas barbecue. The cottage was incredibly well cleaned and sterilized before our arrival, which we appreciated greatly, especially during the current situation. Irene and Norman are very welcoming. All in all a great get away with amazing hosts.

Wunderbar - einfach wunderbar. Wo soll man beginnen: wir waren dort als Ü 60 Flitterwöchner und haben die Tage restlos genossen. Das Gastgeberpaar ist unglaublich nett und hilfbereit mit guten Tipps und Ratschlägen für Restaurants, Ausflugszielen und Wegstrecken. Wir wurden warmherzig begrüßt und zu unserem Häuschen, das im Hof des alten Anwesens liegt, das von ihnen bewohnt wird, begleitet. Im Erdgeschoss Wohn-Esszimmer vereint mit der voll ausgestatteten Küche (inklusive Heißluftfriteuse und Geschirrspülmaschine), Bad, separate Toilette, das gesamte Obergeschoss als ein Schlafzimmer mit einem Doppel- und einem Einzelbett. Viele liebenswerte kleine Details in der Ausstattung - vom Tablett mit Teegeschirr bis zum Korb mit flauschigen Kuscheldecken. Im Außenbereich 2 Gartenplätze mit Tisch, Sofa, Sonnenschirm umgeben von Stauden und Blumen und alter Mauer - ein Traum zum Sitzen und Genießen.Einkaufsdetails: Bäcker ca. 5 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt, Verkaufsautomat des lokalen Landwirts im Nachbarort. Nach Hesdin ca. 12 Minuten Fahrt (wunderschönes Örtchen mit gradiosem Wochenmarkt, Kunsthandwerk, Galerien und guter Gastronomie), ans Meer (Berck) ca. 30 Minuten.Wir haben jede Minute genossen und denken wehmütig an die Zeit und ja, WIR KOMMEN WIEDER!Vielleicht zu kurz gekommen: es ist Dorf! Keine Disko, kein Supermarkt - dafür Entspannung pur, Ruhe und Ruhe und Ruhe: ein Traum!See You again, Norman and Irene!

About the host

Hosted by Mrs I Wood

Host profile image
We started coming to this area by means of renting a friends house to get away from our busy working lives.We liked this area and could travel from our house in sussex to Hesdin in 3 hours so it became a regular trip.
when some 5 years later my husband was offered early retirement we decided to take a chance and buy a property here.

we enjoy the all the area has to offer and family,friends and grandchildren visit often.

Why they chose this property

we like this area and the people in the village made us very welcome.
we spent 6 months renovating the cottage, taking all the bits from friends gites we liked and tried to put them into our own.
Some 15 years later we are still enjoying and looking forward to our guests arriving.
Many now return again and again.

What makes this property unique

The cottage offers all things to all sorts of people ,we enjoy meeting people and feel in a small way that for what ever reason they come to visit be it a first holiday, a special birthday or anniversary or just to get away from the stress of busy working lives that our guests have a good holiday and for a time they can relax and enjoy their stay.
